Bob Dale Edge was born on June 28, 1937 in Soper, Oklahoma to Dee and Ollie Edge. Bob went to his Heavenly home on November 16, 2019 surrounded by his loved ones.
He is preceded in death by his wife of 52 years, Savola “Chockie” Edge; his parents, Dee and Ollie Edge; brother, Dallas Edge; sister, Jeanetta Hull; and great-grandson Lonnie Dale Alvarez.
Bob graduated from Soper High School in 1955. He married Chockie on November 3, 1956. Bob and Chockie moved to Farmington, New Mexico in 1957 where he went to work at Foutz and Bursum Contractors for a short period of time before going to work at El Paso Natural Gas in Bloomfield, New Mexico.
During this time, he also worked nights at KHAP country radio as a disc jockey in Aztec, New Mexico.
In 1971, Bob and Chockie moved home to Soper where they went into partnership with his sister-in-law and her husband opening the B & E Grocery.
